It was the slap heard 'round VH1, and it preceded the bare-footed table jumping that will surely be an event at the next summer Olympics if Evelyn Lozada has her way. At the very least, it should be some new Derby parlor game!

TMZ has the good news for the Z-lister…she won't be doing any jail time after she agreed to a plea bargain.

After she was charged with misdemeanor battery, Nia was looking at a potential year in prison…and it's not like she had much of a defense considering it was all caught on film for the show!

Luckily, Nia was able to make a deal with prosecutors who offered her a year's probation, thirteen weeks of anger management, and a $645 fine. Oh, and the icing on the cake? Nia can't go near Jennifer…and she has been ordered to write her an apology letter. Where can we read that gem?
